AI, Soul, and the Servant’s Heart: How Jason Perry is Humanizing the Future of Technology

AI, Soul, and the Servant’s Heart: How Jason Perry is Humanizing the Future of Technology

What if the future of business wasn’t just about staying ahead of disruption, but leading it with deep purpose and a servant’s heart?

That’s the conversation I had with Jason Perry—tech visionary, author of The AI Evolution, and a man who proves that brilliance and humility don’t have to live in separate worlds.

I’ll be honest. I was fired up just ten minutes into our conversation. Jason doesn’t just talk about AI—he breathes humanity into it. His mission isn’t to replace people. It’s to elevate them.

Jason believes that AI isn’t the threat many fear it to be. It’s the great equalizer. He sees it as a revolutionary wave—bigger than the internet, mobile apps, or personal computers—and it’s here to serve us, not sideline us. In his words, “We are in the AOL days of AI.” That early. That full of promise.

But what sets Jason apart is how he connects AI to legacy. He talks about “vibe teams”—small, passionate groups using AI tools to do the work of entire departments. Imagine one person empowered with the capacity to scale like a hundred. That’s not science fiction. That’s tomorrow’s business model. And it’s here.

In his groundbreaking collaboration with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Jason tested a radical idea: could AI write classical music in the style of Mozart or Philip Glass? The result? Technically brilliant, but emotionally hollow. That’s the moment he realized—AI can mimic. But only humans can create with soul.

And that’s the message we need right now. As leaders, business owners, creatives, and change‑makers, our job isn’t to fear AI. Our job is to infuse it with intention. To let it handle the tasks that drain us so we can focus on the work that ignites us.

Jason reminds us that reinvention is the heartbeat of a meaningful life. That wisdom matters. That a 64-year-old with servant leadership and a teachable spirit might be more valuable today than ever before.

So here’s your reflection for the week:

What’s your “Y”?
What’s the thing you’ve been too busy to pursue—the story, the solution, the mission—because you’ve been stuck doing “X”?

AI can take care of the X. You were born for the Y.

This episode is more than a tech talk. It’s a heart talk. It’s a call to serve bigger, think deeper, and scale with soul.

The future isn’t robots. The future is humans—empowered by the tools that free us to lead with love.

Listen to the full episode and let it shift how you see what’s possible.

And then ask yourself:
How will I serve today?
